Curiouser and curiouser.  I have been experimenting, and the following
works, while my original does not.  I changed the directory name, too,
in case the name "test" might be mis-interpreted:

sh.exe/stest$ cat makefile
echo    :
        echo ${SHELL}
recurs  :
        make cshell SHELL=/bin/sh
cshell  :
        echo ${SHELL}
        sh -c "if test -f makefile; then echo cshell; fi"
sh.exe/stest$ make cshell
echo /bin/sh
/bin/sh
sh -c "if test -f makefile; then echo cshell; fi"
cshell
sh.exe/stest$ make recurs
make cshell SHELL=/bin/sh
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `h:/stest'
echo /bin/sh
/bin/sh
sh -c "if test -f makefile; then echo cshell; fi"
cshell
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `h:/stest'
sh.exe/stest$

I also realized someone might want to see my ~/.profile and/or
~/.bashrc files.  They are identical, and here they are:

sh.exe/stest$ cat ~/.profile
PS1="\s\w\$ "
TERM=win32-win
export PS1 TERM
sh.exe/stest$ cat ~/.bashrc
PS1="\s\w\$ "
TERM=win32-win
export PS1 TERM
sh.exe/stest$

I do not have an /etc/profile file.  Here is my environment list:

<*Sigh*>  Oh, the joys of programming.  Once again, TIA for any help
or info you can offer.
